Adnan Mustafa AlBar and Md. Rakibul Hoque

Abstract—Saudi Arabia applauds education because of its critical importance in developing the country's human potential. In the 21st century, private education facilities have opened all over the Kingdom. Education is a central aspect for the development and training of family and community life. Parents and teachers are deeply involved in their children's and student’s education, respectively. Currently, the continuous involvement of technology in the education system promises to build an advanced education system by using all kinds of information and communication technology (ICT) resources. This paper highlights the need for close relations between administrators, teachers, and students. Concerned with this issue, this paper aims to provide a much needed web-based e-Discipline application system that controls and monitors the classroom environment using high technology and trained teachers. The development of an e-Discipline web-based application is based on three-tier system architecture. In this paper, we present a prototype of an e-Discipline application environment to be operated by the Ministry of Higher Education, which will supervise and train the teachers and administrative staff.
